Recommendations on Task M2                                                 

 The recommendations and discussion items were the following:

  • Look at examples in petro-, nuclear-, air- and space-industry.
  • Search for possibilities to make this effort a commercial activity.
  • Access to real data from railways is a key issue. A learning system may be of help.
  • The need for a common European database must be well justified.
  • The EU project INFRACOST (with UIC) and RAIL should be considered and compatibility with UIC approaches is important.
  • The database may be used in analyses of the safety of new products and for setting up a maintenance regime for railway infrastructure.
  • A prerequisite is the establishment of better communication among railways themselves and among railways and customers and suppliers.
  • Additional experts were named.
